If there is a sweeter book this holiday season, I haven't seen it. Photojournalist Gabriele Galimberti hopped from Texas to Haiti to China to Malawi, capturing kids with their favorite playthings. "Toy Stories: Photos of Children From Around the World and Their Favorite Things" is a sly cross-cultural documentary masquerading as a feel-good crowd-pleaser. $24.95 from Abrams Image.
